I was driving down a 3 or 4 lanes, each way, road in orlando, Florida at about 30 mph when it died. No warning or sputter, just died. It has happened off an on since that time. Probably 10 or 12 times, as I am turning into my driveway, pulling up to a stop sign, or slowing to make a left turn in traffic. This is very dangerous when turning left and traffic headed toward you. The car dies instantly. It has always re-started so far. I now have 80,000 miles on the car, and I am afraid to drive on long trips. Try to stay no farther away than about 100 miles. I have searched all sorts of forums as well as your site and there are many, many others with this problem. In fact my niece in Missouri has one that has started doing it also. I have called cadilliac consumer complaint department twice in last 30 days, and they blow me off. They say we can not believe what we read on the internet.. wow, why would people sit around wasting time making up stories?? I know mine and my niece's are very real. Please help and thank you

This automobile has an oil leak that could cause a fire and General Motors are repairing vehicles, but will not make a recall. These automobiles are Cadillac, Oldsmobile and Buick models dating back to 1993 through 2008. A bulletin # 03-06-01-027 dated May 1, 2008 verified GM's knowledge of the problem. There is a faulty design between the motor and oil pan in these automobiles to cause them to leak so soon. Please investigate this matter. Updated 03/10/11

I have a periodic persistent stalling problem with my 2006 Cadillac Dts that the dealer has been unable to resolve from about 60,000 miles. The car sometimes just stalls out while at a red light or a stop. This is a dangerous situation with my 2006 Cadillac Dts. The dealer has been unable to resolve this issue since it began at about 60,000 miles. Is this an unsafe manufacturer defect in these cars?
